FIU Rattles The City

The dominant shadow previously cast by University of Miami football over the city is receding a bit. Amid the darkness, Florida International University sprouted and is trying to grab some of the Miami sunlight. In its biggest growth spurt yet, FIU defeated Arkansas State saturday afternoon 31-24 in front of an enthusiastic crowd at FIU Stadium to clinch the Sun-Belt Conference championship and a bowl game…both firsts for the school. Meanwhile, about nine miles away, UM was staying in the... Read More →

The Dolphins best offensive player, apparently. "Look at me...look at me! I did this to you"

The Dolphins best offensive player, apparently. "Look at me...look at me! I did this to you" Miami has found a new version of the “Road Warriors”. Borrowing the nickname from the  ’96-’97 Miami Heat team that won 33 games away from home, these 2010 Miami Dolphins look more comfortable on the road than…a car bed? I don’t blame them; the speakers at Whatever-it’s-called-this-year Stadium are always blaring T-Pain, Fergie and the teams infamously-butchered... Read More →

Look at it upside down...who doesn't love a good ambigram?!

Look at it upside down...who doesn't love a good ambigram?! If you listened to hip-hop in the late 90′s, chances are your favorite MC got outshined by Canibus on a track. From Redman to Rakim. From  A+ to AZ. Method Man, DMX, Common, Big Pun, Kool G. Rap, Nas, and Ras Kass also got ear-gasmic verses from Germaine Williams aka Canibus when he appeared on their songs. Canibus was a mixtape legend and the first rapper I knew of that had everyone wearing out their rewind buttons. His... Read More →

Bill Parcells Steps Aside

On tuesday afternoon, the Miami Dolphins released a statement saying that Bill Parcells is stepping down as Executive Vice President of football operations and General Manager Jeff Ireland will now be making the decisions. What? Doesn’t the 2010 season start in five days?! Nice timing. The Dolphins have worse timing than Kanye West. The Dolphins have worse timing than a one-legged person playing Dance Dance Revolution…except for this guy that I found on Youtube after making that joke. The... Read More →

The World’s Top Ten Dumbest Athletic Injuries

Chris Coghlan is a left fielder for the Florida Marlins. We now know he can never be a professional clown after he injured his knee landing, while smashing a pie into the face of teammate and clubhouse grandfather Wes Helms after his game-winning hit a few weeks ago. The celebratory pie in the face during the victory interview is a baseball tradition, but possibly the lamest way to tear ligaments in your knee. Instantly I was reminded of when John Smoltz reportedly burned his chest while... Read More →

Sports in the 305 shall thrive!

Miami sports fans knew coming into this NBA free agency summer of 2010 that the Heat would be major spenders. We knew there were three superstars available, as well as a bunch of good players. What we did not know is that Pat Riley would flex his pimp muscles enough to dominate negotiations and win us free agent A, free agent B, and free agency (let it sink in…embrace my puns), or if you prefer it spun (Spanish punned), I’ll give you…free agent-Si’! The great Heat heist... Read More →

Can Pat Riley deliver a championship to the 305? He certainly seems to be on the right track.

On Wednesday June 30th, Miami Heat President, Pat Riley flew like a superhero with a cape (His private jet.) to California to be on Pacific time to gain a three-hour edge for the July 30th, 12:01 a.m. Eastern start time of NBA free-agent negotiations. That’s right, Heat fans, Superman circled the Earth to reverse time so he could save us all from another 40-something win season. Can Pat Riley deliver a championship to the 305? He certainly seems to be on the right track. Armed with Heat... Read More →

Welcome to the Miami Dolphins, Brandon Marshall. Now, don't fuck it up!

There are a few things that I learned from this year’s NFL Draft. First, the Miami Dolphins’ best draft pick this year was Brandon Marshall. Before you say, “Hey dumbass, he’s not a rookie. We acquired him from the Broncos in a mugging…I mean a trade.” Welcome to the Miami Dolphins, Brandon Marshall. Now, don't fuck it up! No shit…the Dolphins gave up a second round pick in the draft for the guy, so he’s the cat’s meow of this year’s... Read More →

(Album Review) Army of the Pharaohs “The Unholy Terror”

The Unholy Terror is the third studio release from the ever-changing hip hop supergroup Army of the Pharaohs. This Philly-based clan formed by Vinnie Paz of Jedi Mind Tricks now contains 15 of the best underground emcees the east coast has to offer. AOTP’s formula consists of religiously influenced battle rhymes, comically clever punchlines, classic hip hop references and imaginative ways of killing, set to looping symphonic beats and dark horror-core sounds. The album is over an hour long,... Read More →
